Does anyone have one? Basically what would go on a skid steer?
I maintain mine and my neighbor's drive(2000ft) Mine is kind of a pain because the layout of my garage and the house make a corner I can't really plow out. SO I am left shoveling a 25x25 spot every snow fall
My neighbor's drive is a SOB. Down the side of a mountain with a very narrow drive. Up Hill side to my left and shrubbery and buildings on the other side.
I am thinking the blower would be able to SEND all the snow for both situations.
My problem is.......
I don't have hydraulics to the front of my loader to power anything(YET) I am working on a 3rd spool to run a grapple bucket and a power angle snow plow. Is my tractor capable of running a front mounted snow blower by hydraulics?
My owners manual for the 744 loader says the hydraulic pump is rated at 21.5gpm @ 2200rpm. If that is not enough or I can't tap into the loaders hydraulics, can I use one of the rear remote valves? Or mount a PTO driven hydraulic pump and run hoses up to the blower?
BTW I have a Ford 260C tractor(small industrial machine) 60hp
I don't like the idea of backing down the long drive so the rear mount snow blower is out
